Can the Spurs sue Kawhi for breach of contract? Getting paid $18M and electing not to play despite being medically cleared. If I were on the short end of that stick, I'd get litigious real quick.
This thing isn't over so it's a developing situation. He leaked the chilling effect and the rift with the medical team and Kiwi did get his own doctors,and was vetting treated in NY... whether you want to characterize it as a chilling... Kiwi has his own medical team.
This guy doesn't even communicate to his teammates the status of his injury or whatever. If he did then no meeting would have to take place. The Spurs and coaches all seem to be in the dark about all this just as us fans, which is irresponsible of Kawhi. He's the best player on the team. The go to guy when the game is on the line and you can't keep your coach and teammates in the loop as to how things are going? Really strange.
As if any of them are going to admit to begging.
Should have kept with Yahoo, he had a ton more freedom there and didn't need to push any agenda.
Players having to do damage control for this trash team.
Manu played with a broken arm in a cast in the Memphis playoffs series and a stress fracture in his leg during the finals.
His medical team hasn't cleared him. Nothing to do.
on the bright side, at least parker didn't call a private meeting with some of the players' wives.

Woj is a power broker and has been known to be cut throat. In this Kawhi scenario it’s not the Woj is lying. He’s using his power/sway, probably as favors to bigger franchises that work with him to create discord and interest in Kawhi leaving.
He’s trying to fracture Kawhi/Spurs since they shut him out like all the rest. Kawhi is the only player big enough for Woj to strike at.
The meeting happened; Woj was not lying. But HOW it happened is where he’s sowing his discord.
After watching the video I can easily see Woj being pretty much entirely accurate and the players disagreeing tbh. Just the base narrative one could get is that the team "ganged" up on Kawhi. Players would probably feel that is way off base. Plus you wouldn't want to do that to a teammate. "tense and emotional" can easily be disagreed with. Players may have different standards and interpret that completely different. Further the norm of a team could be different. Or simply that seems more "puffed up" and players simply feel they had a reasonable discussion to get information. One could characterize "frustration and confusion" as concern. Teammates perhaps feels any "divide" is not that significant. Especially, from Green's standpoint where he has kept in contact with Kawhi.
since players are basically denying the "tense" nature, and woj's source of a players-only meeting would have to come from (directly or indirectly) one of the players, i'm inclined to believe somebody in kawhi's cap leaked to woj... as in kawhi didn't appreciate the meeting and is going to the media to get the teammates to back off
or maybe one of the spurs players doesn't like kawhi and is trying to get rid of him... probably patty. its why he singled out tony as the guy who took charge in the meeting
When a troll drops the truth nukes. Sad!
Great perspective ...tense is subjective ...
Again, KL has $200 mill reasons to forgive.
That son of a ...
woj is the one that broke the patty mills signing at midnight iirc
That son of a ...
Lol woj
credibilty lol
That could be the case and perhaps a likely case but players wouldn't all have the same take on the event. My main point is that it only takes disagreement based on ones feeling of their interpretation of the event and the words of the article to come to two different conclusions.
Players only meeting should stay between the players and perhaps some feedback with-in the organization. Although at that point many possible leaks open up. Really don't like that we've become the Cavs of the West tbh.
ing awful move if true.
Interesting. I don't think Patty is in some conspiracy.
If I were to speculate it's Kiwi's camp. None of the players have anything to gain from this drama unless you want to get real Machiavellian and think Lamarcus wants a lottery pick or two and some assets to have the team built around him next. I don't believe that.
I am more prone to believing the uncle didn't appreciate Kiwi getting "ganged up" on. The guy is such a recluse the most harmless "what's up? How you doing? When are you comin back?" meeting was perceived as an agenda to pressure him.
Players meeting content is going to be discussed with others in the organization(which is reasonable) which opens the door to many leaks.
Good time to post this again, tbh..it was probably Parker and Manu doing the talking, though..
